Delicious Air Fried Green Tomatoes with Remoulade Sauce

Looking for an easy, mess-free way to make fried green tomatoes? Here is a healthy recipe for air-fried green tomatoes, accompanied by a delicious remoulade sauce. I prefer this version to the traditional pan-fried recipe, and it’s much healthier. Although this recipe is typically classified as an appetizer, these delicious tomatoes are also great as a side dish.

Although many people consider Fried Green Tomatoes a Simple Southern Dish, I think everyone will agree that this recipe is simply delicious.

Remoulade Dipping Sauce

You can make the sauce before starting this dish or while the tomatoes are cooking. The sauce is tangy and delicious, which helps enhance the flavor of the fried tomatoes. See full recipe below.

Prepare the Green Tomatoes

You want to begin by washing the tomatoes because you do not want to peel them.

Mix the bread crumbs with the salt and pepper to taste.

Slice & Bread the Tomatoes

Next, slice your tomatoes into approx. 1/8-1/4 inch thick slices. Then, whisk the egg and dredge the tomato slices in it. Finally, coat thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture.

Prepare Air Fryer Cooking Trays

Be sure to coat the air fryer trays with cooking spray to prevent the tomatoes from sticking. You can add a small amount of spray to the coated tomatoes to increase browning.

You will want to cook the Fried Green Tomatoes in an Air Fryer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes on each side. Therefore, a larger air fryer’s total cook time is 10 minutes.

However, if you have a small air fryer, you may not be able to cook the entire recipe at once. If this is the case, you will double your cooking time.

Notes

Tomatoes can be fried in a frying pan with cooking oil if you don't have an air fryer.

Egg White can be used to reduce calories. Brad has also used yellow mustard as a binding agent instead of eggs. It's really tasty.

If using a small Air Fryer, all tomatoes may not fit into the oven at the same time; therefore, the cooking time may double.  

Yummy Air-Fried Green Tomatoes

Serve your Fried Green Tomatoes with Remoulade Sauce immediately. I’ve added a couple of sausage patties to complete the meal.

If you don’t like Remoulade sauce, try adding goat cheese and spicy jelly or jam. This will enhance the flavor of the Fried Green Tomatoes.

This is a healthy version of a Southern Favorite, and here is another tasty southern recipe. Please let me know your opinion.
